[BUG] Personal Pro/Max subscription blocked with "organization has disabled Claude subscription access" error
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
- [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
- [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code
What's Wrong?
I have a personal Claude subscription (not part of any Team or Enterprise organization) and cannot use Claude Code with my subscription login. Every request is blocked with:
"Your organization has disabled Claude subscription access for Claude Code · Use an Anthropic API key instead, or ask your admin to enable access"
I have no ANTHROPIC_API_KEY set in my environment, and I never intentionally created or joined any organization. This appears to be tied to an auto-generated personal organization that is incorrectly flagged as having subscription access disabled.
What Should Happen?
Claude Code should authenticate successfully using my active, paid personal subscription login, without requiring an API key and without showing any "organization disabled" error, since I am an individual subscriber and not part of any Team/Enterprise org with admin-controlled restrictions.

Is this a regression?
No, this never worked

Claude Code Version
Notably, even claude --version — which should not require any authentication — is blocked by this same error, suggesting the organization check runs before any command execution rather than being scoped to actual API requests.
